SIMPLE  VOWELS  are: 

a,     e,      t,    o,    u. 

they  are  always  pronounced  ah,  ay,  ee,  o,  oo,  never  change 
the  sound. 

COMPOUND  VOWELS. 

d    ae  pronounced  as  a  in  "fate". 

6    oe  "  like  eu  in  the  French  word  "feu"  or  u   in 

"much", 
u    ui  like  "eeyu"  or  like  u  in  the   French   word 

"sure". 

The  last  two  have  no  exact  corresponding  sound  in  the 
English  language — let  a  native  pronounce  it  for  you  and  you 
will  easily  catch  the  sound;  the  same  with  the  German  "ch" 
it  is  always  soft,  and  resembles  the  Scotch  and  Irish  "ch". 


Masculine    Feminine      Neuter 

ber  bte  bag  is  the  German  article, 

dar  (dare)  dee  das 

Every  German  substantive  is  written  with  a  capital  letter. 


A    Golden    Rule. 
Always  learn  the  Gender  of  the  Substantive. 


NOTE.  —  In  the  first  part  of  this  book,  the  German  has  been  printed 
in  the  English  characters  to  facilitate  its  reading,  but  as 
most  German  books  are  printed  in  the  German  characters, 
that  type  has  been  adopted  for  the  second  part  and  must 
therefore  be  studied.

Light  the  fire 

What  is  this? 

A  stove 

Do  you  put  the 
wood  in  there? 

iTes,  when  the  stove 
is  hot,  you  will 
ha  ve  a  warm  room 

T  like  the  stove 

It  warms  the  rooms 

so  much  better 
I  prefer  an  English 

coal  fire 

It  is  so  cheerful 

Do  you  burn  no 
coals  in  Germany? 

No,  very  few 

We  burn  wood  and 
turf,  sometimes 
brown-coal 

We  have  great  for- 
ests, and  wood  is 
here  cheaper  than 
in  England 

Certainly  the  stove 
warms  more  than 
a  coal  fire

Declensions. 


The  German  language  has  three  Genders,  Masculine  ber, 
Feminine  bte,  Neuter  ba§;  which  form  the  definite  article. 

The  definite  article  is  declined  as  well  as  the  substantive,  but 
this  being  somewhat  diflftcult,  it  must  be  studied  in  a  regular 
grammar,  and  we  shall  confine  ourselves  to  an  example  only. 

Masculine. 


Singular. 

Norn,  ber  Sftann,     the  man 
Gen.  be§  9ftanne§,  of  the  man 
Dat.  bent  Sftanne,  to  the  man 
Ace.    ben  2ftcmn,     the  man 


Plural. 

bte  Scanner,     the  men 
ber  iDMnner,     of  the  men 
ben  3ftannern,  to  the  men 
bte  2Jlanner,     the  men. 


Nom.  bte  gran,  the  woman 
Gen.  ber  gran,  of  the  woman

Feminine. 

bte  granen,  the  women 

ber  grauen,  of  the  women 

ben  grauen,  to  the  women 

bte  granen,  the  women. 


Neuter.

-09- 
Aflecttres. 

The  Gennan  adjective  is  placed  before  the  substantive. 

With  the  definite  article  it  takes  the  termination  in  e,  with 
the  indefinite  article  or  without  the  article,  it  takes  the  termi- 
nation of  its  gender  as: 

ber  gule  QSater,  the  good  father,    guter  $ater,  good  father,    ein 

guter  33ater, 

bte  gute  Gutter,  the  good  mother,  gute  Gutter,  good  mother,  ewe 

gute  Gutter, 

fca§  gute  $inb,   the  good  child,      gute§  £inb,    good  child,      ein 

gute§ 


Comparison  of  Adjectives. 

The  Comparative  of  a  German  adjective  is  formed  by  adding 
er  to  the  Positive,  the  Superlative  by  adding  fte,  as : 
t lein,  little  —  f  leiner,  smaller  —  I letnfte,  smallest, 
retdj,   rich  —reiser,   richer    —  retctyfte,   richest. 

The  "than"  following  the  Comparative  is  translated  by 
,,al3":  er  ift  Heiner  al§  id),  he  is  smaller  than  I.

"ARM  OF  THE 
UNWRITTEN  LAW' 

BY    ASA    ARP. 

This  work  is  founded  upon  the  most  sen- 
sational occurrence  in  the  modern  ultra-fash- 
ionable circles  of  New  York  City,  and  por- 
trays with  a  masterly  touch,  all  the  dramatic 
incidents  leading  up  to  the  shooting  of  a 
prominent  artist  by  the  multimillionaire  hus- 
band of  a  noted  actress,  whom  he  was  ac- 
cused of  debauching  before  her  marriage. 
The  immediate  cause  of  the  tragedy  was  alleged  to  have  been  the 
persistent  attention  of  the  slain  artist  to  the  young  wife,  amounting 
to  a  system  of  persecution,  and  also  the  public  defamation  of  her 
character  in  a  fashionable  restaurant . 

The  prominence  of  the  principals  in  this  celebrated  case  makes 
the  book  unusually  popular  with  all  classes  of  people  in  the  United 
States  and  abroad.  By  all  means  read  this  thrilling  and  intensely 
Interesting  book.  Sent  Postpaid  upon  receipt  of  25  cents.

This  book  is  a  rattling  laugh  provoker  and
